My business card should say…

Why I enjoy being at WAP…

It’s a wonderland of positive energy that inspires me to become more, and I also get to help others do the same.

Ask me about (at WAP)…

Salesforce, marketing, building teams and business strategy. My passion is to find ways to leverage technology for the heavy lifting, but balance that with amazing humans who use it. Tech doesn’t replace people, it enhances their efficiency and options.

Where I am from and what brought me here…

We moved a lot growing up and we settled in beautiful sunny AZ when I was in junior high. I’ve been here longer than anywhere else, so now I consider myself to be from AZ. It’s just easier to describe in short conversations this way too.

What I can’t stop talking about…

I’m a talker…so there’s a few things I’m always talking about…
1. How lucky I am. I have 4 beautiful children (19, 19, 8 and 4), an amazing opportunity to help others through our business.
2. Tony Robbins. The man has influenced me to lead a most empowered and fulfilling life. The result? He comes up in conversation pretty regularly.
3. Whatever I’m learning, because I’m ALWAYS feeding my mind. My favorite books this year were The Advantage by Patrick Lencioni, Daring Greatly and Rising Strong by Brene Brown, First Things First by Stephen Covey, The E Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber, Good to Great by James Collins and How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie.

What you might not know about me…

I wanted to be a race car driver, a professional business woman or a paleontologist when I grew up. One out of three isn’t bad!
